By using a Case ID, (provided in an instructional pamphlet to the person who brought the patient for surgery), family and friends can monitor the status of their loved one throughout his or her surgery or procedure.
To receive the Case ID, please contact the family member or person who brought the patient for surgery. If you have difficulty using remote access, please have your Case ID available and call the hospital.
We offer group or individual informational sessions. Choose the option that best fits your preference and schedule, call 717-909-0290 to register.
Pre Session Paperwork. Bring your paperwork with you to the session to hand in if you decide you want to take the next steps on your weight loss journey.
During the initial consultation, our clinician will review your medical history, discuss your personal weight loss goals and determine which weight loss options best fit your needs. If you are considering surgical intervention, your insurance company may require that you follow a pre-operative, medically supervised weight loss diet/program, prior to approving surgery. The clinical team will work with you to outline surgical requirements and necessary steps.
You will receive forms requesting information regarding your medical and diet histories and past efforts at weight loss, and insurance specifics. These must be completed and returned to us before your initial consultation can be scheduled.
This information includes:
The name and contact information of your primary care physician. If you do not have one the clinical team will recommend one.
To make the most of your first visit, we ask that you send us the necessary information about your medical history and your insurance benefits one week prior to your appointment.
Print and complete the forms for your first appointment.
The patient questionnaire should be completed and sent to or dropped off at the office prior to your first appointment.
